Ewan McGregor is still interested in an Obi-Wan Kenobi spin-off – EW.com Pinterest ILM/Lucasfilm, Ltd. Speaking at the Edinburgh Film Festival , Ewan McGregor, who played young Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, said that he’s definitely be up for another trip to the galaxy far, far away. And he has a very specific idea about how it could come about. “I’d be happy to do the story from episodes three where I finish up and Alec Guinness starts,” McGregor said, referring to the era between the two trilogies, when Obi-Wan is camped out in the deserts of Tatooine. McGregor has been consistent in this view. We know this because it’s the same movie he’s been pitching since early 2013, when he shared the same idea with MTV . While McGregor’s idea for a spin-off seems like a good one, Lucasfilm’s slate is looking a little full at the moment.

After The Force Awakens in December and Rogue One in 2016, the plan is to finish off the new trilogy in 2017 and 2019, with a Boba Fett spin-off in between and a Han Solo movie likely coming afterward. That could mean we wouldn’t see an Obi-Wan movie until 2021 at the earliest. Maybe that would give McGregor some time to go more gray. On top of sharing his thoughts on a potential future for Obi-Wan, McGregor also took time to throw some shade Kylo Ren’s way. “I’m not sure about the hilt on the lightsaber,” referring to the weapons wielded by Adam Driver’s character. “If you fight with a lightsaber properly you don’t need one.” Come on, Ewan. Everyone knows that Stephen Colbert put the crossguard debate to bed.

Stop Asking Ewan McGregor to do Another Star Wars Film Stop Asking Ewan McGregor to do Another Star Wars Film The man who played young Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Ewan McGregor, is getting rather tired of being the standard bearer for an Obi-Wan Star Wars film… Get the Dork Side of the Force App Speaking with Parade Magazine , the actor, who as you know, has portrayed Obi-Wan Kenobi in not only the Star Wars prequels — but also helped to bring Obi-Wan’s voice back to the big-screen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, in Rey’s Force dream — talked about the stress of constantly being pushed into the role of fans wanting him to champion the cause of his own Star Wars film, with Disney/Lucasfilm. “I like the films that I made with George Lucas and I’m happy to be part of the legend of it all, but that’s it with me. I don’t really understand the fanaticism about it.” Parade made sure to point out that McGregor said he enjoyed the films he made with George Lucas. In fact, Parade bolded Lucas’ name, but I wouldn’t read anything into that, as McGregor and J.J.

Abrams have a great relationship , and the actor loved the film. “I’m asked by everybody all the time, “Would you do another one?” and I’ve said, “Yeah, I’d be happy to,” because I think there’s a film between Episode 3 and Episode 4, which is when Alec Guinness is in the desert.” This is the film that Star Wars fans want, and I am surprised that Kathleen Kennedy hasn’t already begun pre-production on this film already. I wonder if a test audience was polled about a young Han Solo film against anything else. Don’t get me wrong, I’m as excited as anyone else to see the origins of the smuggler with a heart of gold, but wouldn’t seeing the life of Obi-Wan Kenboi, as he lives on the harsh desert of Tatooine, watching over the baby of his former best friend and brother Anakin Skywalker, be better? I could even see an Obi-Wan film have flashbacks to him as a youngling, being recruited into the Jedi Order, taken as a Padawan by Master Qui-Gon Jinn.

McGregor continued: “But I’ve been asked about it so much now that I’m being criticized for trying to persuade Disney to make this movie. I only responded to people asking me about it, and now it looks like I’m sort of looking for work, which is humiliating. I couldn’t care less if it happens, but when Star Wars people ask me if I would do it, the answer is yes, so that’s how I feel about it.” Next: Rogue One: Entertainment Weekly Reveals More Photos This I understand. Ewan McGregor doesn’t need the work, and he’s never started any sort of campaign on social media for Disney or Lucasfilm to give him his own Star Wars film, but if he’s getting criticism from industry insiders, and if that’s hurting his reputation, then it needs to stop. Although, this could all be over if Disney and Lucasfilm would just pull their collective heads out of their butts and realize that the majority of the Star Wars fan base would kill to see an Obi-Wan standalone film with Ewan McGregor as the lead. The ball, as they say, is in your court, Disney.

Photo by George Lucas. Obi-Wan Kenobi is Luke Skywalker's mentor in the Star Wars Original Trilogy and Anakin Skywalker 's master in the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. As a Jedi, he embodies the ideals of the Prequel-era Jedi Order: cautious, focused, and very traditional. These aspects of his personality often put him in conflict with his unorthodox master, Qui-Gon Jinn , and his rebellious apprentice. Obi-Wan Kenobi Before the Star Wars Films Obi-Wan Kenobi was born on an unknown planet in 57 BBY . Like most Jedi, he was taken from his family at a very young age and brought to the Jedi Temple for training.

For a while, however, it seemed that his chances of becoming a Jedi were slim; at the age of 13, he was sent to the Agricultural Corps , the destination for Force-sensitives who weren't chosen as Padawans. continue reading below our video Overview of Star Wars Movies On his way to the AgriCorps, however, Obi-Wan found a mentor in Qui-Gon Jinn. Because Qui-Gon's former apprentice, Xanatos, had turned to the dark side, the Jedi Master was at first hesitant to take Obi-Wan as a Padawan ; but he soon realized Obi-Wan's Force potential and helped him develop into a powerful Jedi. Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars Prequels Episode I: The Phantom Menace Obi-Wan avenged Qui-Gon's death after he was killed in a duel with Darth Maul ; the fight earned him the rank of Jedi Knight . Although he did not share his master's opinion that Anakin Skywalker was the Chosen One of Jedi Prophecy, Obi-Wan wanted to honor Qui-Gon's wishes to train the boy. Despite the Jedi Council's disapproval, Obi-Wan accepted Anakin as his Padawan.

Episode II: Attack of the Clones Ten years later, Obi-Wan's investigation of an assassination attempt on Padmé Amidala led him to Kamino, where cloners had created a vast army at the secret request of a Jedi Master. Obi-Wan's discovery occurred just in time for the clones to assist the Republic in fighting the Separatists, led by the Sith Lord Count Dooku . In the subsequent Clone Wars, the Jedi became leaders of the Clone Army. Obi-Wan became General Kenobi and earned the rank of Jedi Master , as well as a seat on the Jedi Council. Episode III: Revenge of the Sith The Clone Wars led to dark times for the Jedi. While Obi-Wan hunted down General Grievous, the cyborg Separatist leader, his former Padawan Anakin turned to the Dark Side. Chancellor Palpatine, who was secretly a Sith Lord , ordered the clones to turn on their Jedi leaders with Order 66 ; Obi-Wan and Yoda were among the few Jedi who escaped. When he realized what had happened, and that Anakin had set a trap for the remaining Jedi, he attempted to warn them away with a beacon.

Obi-Wan faced Anakin in a duel, but could not kill him. Palpatine rescued Anakin, who was missing several limbs and badly burned. Surviving within the confines of a protective suit, Anakin became the Sith Lord Darth Vader. With the help of Yoda and Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan, Obi-Wan hid the newborn twin children of Anakin and his wife, Padmé. Organa adopted Leia , while Obi-Wan took Luke to Tatooine, Anakin's homeworld, and gave him to Anakin's stepbrother Owen to raise. Obi-Wan During the Dark Times During the Dark Times -- the time of the Empire, when the remaining few Jedi were being hunted down -- Obi-Wan hid on Tatooine and watched over Luke. He created a new identity for himself: the strange old hermit, Ben Kenobi. During this time, he received guidance from the ghost of his former master, Qui-Gon Jinn. For a time, Obi-Wan believed that he and Yoda were the only survivors of Order 66.

After a year in exile, however, he learned that Ferus Olin, a former Padawan who had left the Jedi Order, was still alive. While training Ferus, Obi-Wan was surprised to discover that even more Jedi had survived. Prev BBC News | FILM | Ewan 'disappointed' by Phantom Menace Sunday, 7 April, 2002, 10:39 GMT 11:39 UK Ewan 'disappointed' by Phantom Menace McGregor (r) plays the young Obi Wan Kenobi Actor Ewan McGregor has said he was disappointed by the Star Wars prequel The Phantom Menace, which he described as "flat". In the past, McGregor has said he found filming for meticulous director George Lucas "boring", but this is the first time he has publicly criticised the film. The star played the part of Obi Wan Kenobi - the sage played by the late Sir Alec Guinness in the original Star Wars film - in Episode One: The Phantom Menace in 1999. The Phantom Menace was the third most commercially successful film in history. The critics, however, failed to warm to it.

I think there's much more humour and there's much more colour in Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Ewan McGregor McGregor's comments came in a yet-to-be-published interview with the FilmFour website, which is running a series of the actor's films in April. The star said the next film in the space saga, Episode II: Attack of the Clones, was an improvement on the first. "One of the things about Episode One I was slightly disappointed by was, I thought it was very kind of flat," he told the website. "I think there's much more humour and there's much more colour in Episode II: Attack of the Clones. "I think it's more reminiscent of the original three Star Wars films than Episode I was." The new Star Wars opens in the UK with a series of midnight screenings on 16 May. Because of the transatlantic time difference, UK Star Wars fans will get the chance to see Attack of the Clones several hours ahead of US devotees. FilmFour is screening a series of Ewan McGregor's biggest film hits, including Shallow Grave, Trainspotting and Velvet Goldmine.

‘Star Wars’ Rumor: Ewan McGregor In Talks For Obi-Wan Kenobi Film ‘Star Wars’ Rumor: Ewan McGregor In Talks For Obi-Wan Kenobi Film Share Comment Walt Disney Pictures and Lucasfilm currently have three Star Wars movies with official release dates First on the docket is co-writer/director J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the next episodic installment (due to arrive December 2015). Director Gareth Edwards’ Anthology (re: spinoff) film Star Wars: Rogue One is set to arrive one year after Force Awakens. Finally, Star Wars: Episode VIII (official subtitle TBD) from writer/director Rian Johnson (Brick, Looper) will open in theaters around mid-02017. What comes after that (besides Episode IX, that is)? Well, the same rumors continue to persist about what the next two Anthology movies could be.

Namely, that the second Anthology installment (after Rogue One) is going to center around the infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett – while the third Star Wars spinoff project will focus on Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (originally brought to life as an older man by Alec Guinness in 1977). Schmoes Know reported last night (at the time of writing this) that Han Solo will appear in the Boba Fett movie – now on the lookout for a new director, as former helmsman Josh Trank (the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot) has stepped down. The site’s sources are also claiming that “conversations” are currently underway between Disney/Lucasfilm and Ewan McGregor – who played the younger version of Obi-Wan featured in the Star Wars prequel movie trilogy (Episodes I-III) – and that the talks involve an “unknown” project, rather than the aforementioned Boba Fett film. It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time rumors about an Obi-Wan spinoff have popped up online.

Rumors that the character would appear as a Force Ghost in Force Awakens (then known as Episode VII) began to circulate back in Summer 2013, along with a report that asserted McGregor was pushing for Obi-Wan to get his own standalone feature. Then, in 2014, a separate (but related) story emerged, claiming that Lucasfilm has been actively developing an Obi-Wan movie for McGregor to headline. Mind you, neither of those stories (or the latest “update) claimed a Star Wars Anthology film about Obi-Wan Kenobi is a done deal – just that it’s an idea that IS, in fact, being explored by Lucasfilm. Obi-Wan is also bit like Boba Fett, in that he’s a popular character who played a key role in the first two Star Wars live-action movie trilogies, as well as the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series (which is still part of the Star Wars franchise’s official canon) and various other Star Wars media (novels, comic books, video games, etc.). That lends more credibility to the rumor him getting his own spinoff.

Indeed, Obi-Wan – more so than Boba Fett – is a member of the Star Wars universe whose life story has been pretty thoroughly examined and detailed in previously-released Star Wars projects. It’s for this reason that many dedicated Star Wars fans have already made it clear that they would rather a different person in a galaxy far, far away get to stand in the spotlight instead – by getting to being the star in a future Anthology film, that is. Still, an Obi-Warn spinoff does make sense for Lucasfilm in a number of ways, including: Ewan McGregor’s performance as Obi-Wan Kenobi has long been cited as one of the Star Wars prequel movie trilogy’s bright spots – and there are many fans who would like to see him get his own film. McGregor is perfect capable of carrying his own movie, plus his involvement would only help to better sell an upcoming Star Wars Anthology film. An Obi-Wan Kenobi film could take on various forms – such as, an adventure where Obi-Wan leads a team of warriors on an important mission (see the old rumor about Zack Snyder making a Seven Samurai-inspired Jedi movie ).

That is, it might offer something new and fresh for both hardcore Star Wars buffs and more casual moviegoers alike. Star Wars: Rogue One will be a war story about how the Rebel Alliance stole the first Death Star’s plans, while a Boba Fett movie would (presumably) examine the crime underworld of the Star Wars universe – meaning, an Obi-Wan spinoff could stand well apart from the other planned or rumored Anthology films (and help to insure that each one feels unique and explores different genres). – Again, keep in mind that none of this means an Obi-Wan spinoff is, for sure, going to become a real thing. Nonetheless, until further notice, it’s definitely an idea that shouldn’t be dismissed as being too implausible – and it’s an idea that’s worthy of further discussion, too. NEXT: Star Wars: Rogue One Casting & Plot Details Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in U.S. theaters on December 18th, 2015.

Star Wars: Rogue One arrives a year later on December 16th, 2016, followed by Star Wars: Episode VIII (official subtitle TBA) on May 26th, 2017. The second Star Wars Anthology film (Boba Fett movie?) doesn’t have an official release date yet. Obi-Wan Kenobi | Uncyclopedia | Fandom powered by Wikia Original Trilogy What more could a Jedi want? As per George Lucas' request, Uncyclopedia shall begin this article biography towards the end of Obi-Wan Kenobi's life, rather than just following it in chronological order like any normal article would. The reasoning for this is generally not questioned by anyone who likes this article and the series of information it presents. A New Hope Obi-Wan Kenobi is first introduced in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977) (originally released simply as Star Wars when George Lucas did not expect movie-going audiences to enjoy his low-budget Space Opera B-movie). He is played by prominent British actor Alec Guinness .

He is first seen in a daring and complex rescue plan to save Luke Skywalker from a group of Tusken Raiders, who ambush him during a search for R2-D2, a missing droid struck with a computer virus that mirrors the human disorder of Autism . After cunningly convincing the cannibalistic raiders that he was a grue , they instantly fled in terror. He then took Luke and his new companions back to his sand-igloo for a British cup of tea, or at least the equivalent on Tatooine. Obi-Wan reveals that he knew Luke's father, Anakin Skywalker , and served with him in the Clone Wars as a Jedi Knight . He does not mention to Luke that Anakin is also an evil Sith Lord in control of the Empire; a vast totalitarian regime that seeks to enslave the entire galaxy. The omission of this fact can be seen either as Obi-Wan trying to protect Luke's feelings from the truth, or alternatively Obi-Wan has grown so old that he can no longer keep track of the convoluted plot-lines that comprise the Star Wars saga, and has simply forgotten.

The behaviour of the elderly Obi-Wan can be interpreted by many as supporting this theory, with some of his actions indicating the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, as well as old-age dementia. Luke is given Anakin's lightsaber, and is told: Obi-Wan: a young Jedi named Darth Vader... [long pause to remember what he saying]... betrayed and murdered your father. Obi-Wan offers to instruct Luke in the ways of the Force, but Luke initially refuses, fearing that Obi-Wan may be a paedophile planning to ensnare him. He changes his mind after his aunt and uncle are murdered and he realises that he has no idea how to run a moisture farm, or what one is. It is then, that Obi-Wan takes him along to deliver the coveted "How to: Destroy a Death Star" guide to Alderaan. Obi-Wan and Luke buy passage to Alderaan on the Millennium Falcon, a spaceship piloted by Han Solo , a space pirate, and his space-first mate, Chewbacca .

At first Obi-Wan expresses doubt over the pirate's capabilities, stating: Obi-Wan: You are without a doubt, one of the worst pirates I have ever heard of. Han Solo: But you have heard of me... Young Obi-Wan after having used too much force. The two eventually set aside their differences, even when Han Solo has the arrogance to call the Jedi religion a myth, effectively dishonouring the deaths of thousands of Obi-Wan's Jedi brethren who were mercilessly slaughtered whilst defending the freedom that Han Solo enjoys as a space pirate. Due to Han Solo taking his sweet time navigating, and getting lost every time he tried to use the hyperdrive engine to take a shortcut, Alderaan had already been destroyed by the Death Star. Han Solo's ineptness as a space pirate further gets them into trouble when the Millennium Falcon is captured by the enormous space station's tractor beam. After their capture, Obi-Wan actually does something useful unlike the rest of the crew who languish about fighting garbage-monsters, and sneaks into the core of the Death Star, disabling the tractor beam so that the Falcon can escape. Obi-Wan then confronts Darth Vader in a lightsaber duel.

The two have a sparring of wits as well as lightsabers, which unfortunately means the elderly Obi-Wan cannot keep up. He tells Vader just before being struck down: Obi-Wan: Strike me down, and I shall become more powerful than you could ever imagine... Darth Vader: The Empire does NOT negotiate with Terrorists! This could be interpreted merely as trash-talk with little meaning, or alternatively that Obi-Wan's wits have let him down once again, as the only indication of Obi-Wan getting any more powerful is the fact that he does not leave a bloody-mess behind after Vader kills him, (although Star Wars enthusiasts will tell you that Lightsabers actually cauterise any wounds, but the fact that his body disappears is still an admirable feat in itself). He speaks to Luke via the Force (usual rate -0.50p per minute) in the film's climactic battle scene, telling him to use the Force to destroy the Death Star.

Luke, being someone who likes taking dangerous and unnecessary risks because a familiar voice in his head tells him to, turns off his X-Wing fighter's targeting computer, and, trusting in the Force, he fires his proton torpedoes and destroys the battle station. Luke then hears Obi-Wan's voice telling him: Obi-Wan: The Force will be with you, always. Watching you. Even when you think you're completely alone, and it's safe enough to look at those magazines you bought from Watto. And by the way, you may want to stop having those thoughts about Leia. No reason, it's just probably for the best... The Empire Strikes Back You don't want to vandalise this article... You want to correct any spelling mistakes and vote it for highlight... Move along... In Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980), set three years after A New Hope (although it could just as easily have been 3 days), Obi-Wan appears as a hallucinatory voice inside Luke's head, and instructs him to go to the Dagobah system for further training with Jedi Master Yoda , who was forced into hiding like Obi-Wan when the Republic collapsed.

Because Yoda has more physical similarities with a retarded bull-frog than he does with a human being, Obi-Wan got to live in the sand igloo to watch over Luke, while Yoda had to settle for a swamp with other small, green, bas-ackward speaking creatures like him. After Luke has been further trained in the teachings of the Jedi, Obi-Wan once again appears in the Dagobah swamp to try and dissuade him from going to Cloud City, where Vader holds Han and Leia hostage. After Luke insists on facing Vader, Obi-Wan warns him that he cannot be bothered regenerating to fight Vader just to get killed again as a distraction for Luke and his friends to escape. Luke would have to grow a pair and face him alone. Return of the Jedi In Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983), set one year after The Empire Strikes Back, a dying Yoda whispers, using normal, unbroken English to emphasize the importance of what he is going to say, "there is another Skywalker". Unfortunately, Yoda passes away from old-age, as he just wasn't the Jedi he used to be when he was 800 years old.

The plot demands that Obi-Wan appear as a Force ghost to explain to a heartbroken Luke why he did not tell him the truth about his father, and Luke finds out that Leia is his sister, bringing to question some serious domestic issues . Obi-Wan admits that his own pride had been partly to blame for Anakin Skywalker's fall from grace: Obi-Wan: "I thought I could instruct him just as well as Yoda. I was wrong. No-one can teach like Yoda. If Yoda went to an inner-city high school with gangs and teenagers mixed up in crime, pregnancy and illiteracy, they would all have 4.0 GPA's by the end of the month." He then tries to explain to Luke that killing Vader is the only way to destroy the Empire and save the galaxy in an epic cliff hanger. At the end of the film, Obi-Wan's ghost appears alongside the ghosts of Yoda and a redeemed Anakin Skywalker on the forest moon of Endor, watching over Luke and his teddy-bear comrades as they celebrate the destruction of the second Death Star and the collapse of the Empire.

Prequel Trilogy A younger version of Obi-Wan Kenobi, portrayed by the somewhat less expressive Ewan McGregor. The younger version of Obi-Wan Kenobi is characterised as having superior lightsaber choreography, a terrible sense of humour and some of the worst hairstyles ever seen in the entire Star Wars saga. The Phantom Menace In Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999), set 32 years before A New Hope (which makes the Alec Guinness version of Obi-Wan less than 60. I don't think so...), Obi-Wan, now played by Ewan McGregor , is seen as a young Jedi Padawan. At the start of the film, Obi-Wan accompanies his master Qui-Gon Jinn on a mission to Naboo b to discuss negotiations with the Chinese Trade Federation, who are blockading Naboo, ruled by Queen Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman). Qui-Gon Jinn notes that the Viceroys of the Chinese Trade Federation are cowards, and that the negotiations should be short. However, upon their arrival on the Federation flagship, they are attacked by battle droids and are forced to retreat down to the planet.

Obi-Wan makes a joke that does not go down well: Qui-Gon: We'll split up and board separate ships, and meet up again when we're on Naboo. Obi-Wan: You were right about one thing, Master. The negotiations were short... [An awkward silence] In the swampy forests of Naboo, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan meet a Rastafarian stereotype blatant child commercialisation clumsy Gungan named Jar Jar Binks , who assists the Jedi in reaching the Queen. After making an unscheduled landing on Tatooine, Qui-Gon meets Anakin Skywalker, a young slave who shows such tremendous potential in the Force that Qui-Gon believes him to be the "Chosen One" of Jedi prophecy, destined to bring balance to the Force by destroying the Sith. Obi-Wan still has difficulty aiming his force push. Obi-Wan initially believes the boy is too old and has too many emotional attachments to become a Jedi, and could become dangerous if he were trained. The Jedi Council unanimously forbids Anakin's training, sensing that the boy's future is clouded by the fear he exhibits.

During the film's climactic battle scene, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan battle the Sith Lord Darth Maul . Qui-Gon is proven to be an even worse Jedi than Obi-Wan when he is killed by Darth Maul. Obi-Wan, a lowly and unskilled Padawan with little experience especially when compared to any other Jedi Master, attempts to vanquish Maul by himself. After being disarmed and nearly falling to his death, Obi-Wan uses the Force to pull his Master's abandoned lightsaber into his hand and cuts Maul in half. Obi-Wan then runs to his Master's side, and the dying Qui-Gon pleads with him to train Anakin in the ways of the Jedi. Obi-Wan promises that he will, effectively dooming the entire Galaxy into slavery for the next 30 years and causing everyone to forget all about about those treasury funds that went missing with Qui-Gon.

For his heroics in defeating a Sith (making him the first Jedi in 1,000 years to do so), Yoda personally bestows to him the rank of Jedi Knight, even though he is technically the most hardcore Jedi alive at the time, and therefore should be a higher rank than anyone. Obi-Wan then states that he will train Anakin with or without the Council's permission. Yoda reluctantly agrees but warns Obi-Wan to be careful with the troubled boy, the Jedi church didn't need another sex abuse scandal. Attack of the Clones Hold on a second. I thought C-3PO was supposed to be the one based on gay stereotypes. In Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002), set 10 years after The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan has become an experienced Jedi Knight and facial hair grower. However, his relationship with his Padawan, Anakin is strained; the Chosen One has grown powerful but arrogant and believes that Obi-Wan is trying to hold him back. In reality, Anakin is in need of a good slap, or at least some acting lessons and a better screenwriter.

He and Anakin are tasked with protecting Padmé, now an older yet even hotter Senator than she was in The Phantom Menace, after an attempt is made on her life. Obi-Wan is commissioned to track down the mysterious Assassin with No Name. Well, he's actually named Jango Fett , but Lucas wanted to base him on Clint Eastwood's famous Western character, The Man with No Name. He appears to have failed on a very fundamental level... Anyway, Obi-Wan tracks him down to the planet Kamino , and learns about a massive Mexican clone army that the planet's inhabitants are building for the Galactic Republic. He then meets with the bounty hunter Jango Fett, the template for the clones, and through sophisticated detective work and deductive reasoning sub par even for Nancy Drew , finds out that he is the one responsible for the assassination attempts. Obi-Wan: Hey! You're wearing the same armour as the assassin I'm trying to locate somewhere on this planet... What store did you buy it from? Obi-Wan attempts to apprehend Fett, who escapes to Geonosis with his unaltered clone Boba .

Obi-Wan follows them by placing a homing beacon on Fett's ship, Love-Slave I. On Geonosis, Obi-Wan learns of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, also known as the Separatists, a conspiracy of star systems that want to secede from the Republic and completely bore movie-going audiences with misplaced subplots about politics. The renegades are led by former Jedi, Count Dooku, who was once Qui-Gon's master, but could not turn him to the vampire dark side of the force. Obi-Wan is captured shortly after sending a message to Anakin, who ungratefully ignores it and marks it as spam in his email box. While Obi-Wan is in captivity, Dooku reveals that the Galactic Senate is under the control of a Sith Lord named Darth Sidious , who's identity is Chancellor Palpatine completely unknown to people watching the film. After much nagging by Padme, she and Anakin eventually arrive on Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan. They are themselves captured due to not actually bothering to come up with a rescue plan, and all three are sentenced to death by the Geonosians.

Whilst chained to pillars awaiting certain death, it appears Obi-Wan finally cracks the art of humour, as he utilises sarcasm in the correct manner. Obi-Wan: What are you two doing here? Anakin: We were sent here to rescue you, Master. [Obi-Wan looks round at the thousands of armed, blood-thirsty creatures that have gathered to watch them be mutilated by several giant space-monsters] Obi-Wan: Good job... The executions are prevented by the timely arrival of Jedi and clone reinforcements, led by Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Yoda . Obi-Wan and Anakin confront Dooku and they engage in a lightsaber duel. Anakin once again proves he is in need of child disciplining when he ignores Obi-Wan's orders to take Dooku together, and he is attacked with the easily blockable Force lightning move. Obi-Wan is forced to take Dooku on his own, and he outmanoeuvres Obi-Wan, wounding him on both his left arm and leg.

Dooku is about to deliver a killing blow when Anakin, waiting for a dramatic point to return to the fight, recovers from the lightning and blocks Dooku's attack. Obi-Wan gives Anakin his lightsaber to help him in the duel, which is almost immediately broken. Dooku and Anakin fight a short duel, and Dooku cuts off Anakin's right lower arm when he tries ripping out Dooku's heart yelling " Kali Ma Shakti de". Finally, Yoda arrives to cut through all the bullshit and straighten Dooku's crooked light saber out. However, the Sith Lord takes advantage of Obi-Wan and Anakin's laziness, and causes a pillar to collapse onto them. With both Jedi too tired to bother moving out of the way, Yoda must save them, creating a distraction while Dooku escapes. Yoda saves their lives, dooming us to a sequel. Anakin doesn't bother to try and reattach or patch his arm using clone meat and secretly marries Padme; making him the only person in the clone war s with anyone to write back to. Revenge of the Sith Not the only thing they do back to back...

In Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005), set three years after Attack of the Clones, Obi-Wan is now a Jedi Master on the High Jedi Council and a general in the Army of the Republic, with his record of using awful puns forgotten. Anakin Skywalker , now a full-fledged Jedi Knight, has become less of an irritant than he was in Attack of the Clones. Possibly sometime in between Attack of the Clones Revenge of the Sith and a couple seasons of animated warfare, Obi-Wan gave him that long overdue slap. He remains his partner, and the two have become war heroes and best friends. Obi-Wan and Anakin are sent on a mission to rescue Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who has been kidnapped very easily (George Lucas would recommend you pick up on this subtle red herring) by Dooku and Separatist leader/portable dialysis machine, General Grievous . When they find the captive Palpatine, Count Dooku challenges them both to a duel, allowing Obi-Wan another chance to make an awful joke. Palpatine: Get help! You're no match for him. He's a Sith Lord.

Obi-Wan: Chancellor Palpatine, Sith Lords are our specialty... [Palpatine glares at Obi-Wan] After cracking that Gem, Obi-Wan is immediately knocked unconscious by Dooku, but Anakin defeats the Sith Lord by slicing off both his hands, and then his head. Obi-Wan could not be awakened, so Anakin carries him out, against Palpatine's wishes. Palpatine: Leave him, or we'll never make it. Anakin: He's not heavy, he's my master... [Anakin smirks slightly. Palpatine shakes his head in disbelief at what he has just heard.] Anakin: Maybe I shouldn't let Obi-Wan teach me any more jokes... Contrary to popular belief, this is NOT Obi-Wan Kenobi. Soon after returning to Coruscant Obi-Wan is called away to Utapau to confront General Grievous. After finding the Separatist encampment, Obi-Wan engages the asthmatic General Grievous in battle, eventually killing him with an ordinary blaster, out of all the different weapons in the entire galaxy.

At the same time, Palpatine issues Order 66, directing clone troopers to turn on their Jedi generals. Obi-Wan, being one of the few Jedi with any resourcefulness or initiative, survives the attempt on his life and escapes by stealing Grievous' star fighter and meeting with Senator Bail Organa and Yoda aboard Organa's ship, the Tantive IV. Obi-Wan returns to Coruscant where he and Yoda discover that every Jedi in the Jedi Temple has been murdered, even the younglings. Obi-Wan sends a beacon to all surviving Jedi, instructing them to scatter across the galaxy and remain in hiding. A heartbroken Obi-Wan then watches a security video revealing Anakin as the assassin and child-killing SOB. [Obi-Wan watches the video in horror. Tears well up in his eyes.] Obi-Wan: I can't watch any more. [Obi-Wan begins to cry. Yoda picks up a stool and stands on top of it so he can put his hand on Obi-Wan's shoulder. He silently comforts him for a moment.] Yoda: Told you so, I did. Hmmmmmm...

Going to train him, with or without my permission, you said... Obi-Wan: Okay, okay, that's enough. I get the point. Yoda: Sorry I am... Sorry I am... Too busy making stupid jokes rather than keeping an eye on our apprentice, we were. Hmmmmm... Subsequently, Obi-Wan and Yoda split up to confront the two Sith Lords: Obi-Wan to fight Darth Vader and Yoda to battle Darth Sidious in a classic samurai Jedi stand-off. Obi-Wan wishes to fight Sidious to avoid having to kill his best friend, but Yoda says that not even one of Obi-Wan's worst jokes could kill Sidious. He would have to accept that Anakin had been "consumed by Darth Vader." like a star wars breakfast cereal, and reminds Obi-Wan of all the times Anakin bitched at him about how he wasn't treated like a grown-up. Unaware of his former Padawan's location, Obi-Wan visits Padmé and explains to her what Anakin has done.

Padmé, being naturally blonde with dyed brown hair, refuses to believe him, and will not reveal Anakin's whereabouts, knowing that Obi-Wan will attempt to kill him. Before departing, Obi-Wan tells Padmé that he knows Anakin is the father of her unborn child, and criticises both of them for not using a condom in this technological age. Padmé sets out to the Mustafar system to confront Anakin herself, and Obi-Wan secretly stows away in her ship. Get high with me many times, Obi-Wan did... Hmmmmmmm Arriving on Mustafar Padmé confronts Anakin and realizes with horror that Obi-Wan had been telling the truth - condoms really are easily available. When Obi-Wan emerges from Padmé's ship, an enraged Vader immediately suspects that Padmé has betrayed him and uses the dark side to choke her into unconsciousness. Obiwan then reveals himself from the ship. After a few long mins of Obi-wan trying to talk to Anakin and Anakin being the whiney little princess.

The two Jedi both ignite their light sabers and have a ferocious light saber duel, where Anakin could have killed Obi-wan whithin the fist ten seconds due to Obi-wan spinning around like a ballerina. Anakin: You underestimate my power! [Anakin, jumps down from the cliff in an attack. Obi-Wan slices Anakin's legs and left arm off before he has touched the ground] Obi-Wan: Pwned! Obi-Wan then retrieves Anakin's lightsaber, reciting a Jedi mantra of compassion over Anakins tortured screams and finally returns to the shuttle. Vader, meanwhile, slides down the volcanic ash, coming too close to the lava, ignites and practically burns to death. Obi-Wan watches helplessly as Padmé dies after bearing twins. Her robo-doc says that her " will to live " has run out, somehow causing her to die rather than just becoming depressed like any normal person. Obi-Wan is skeptical, but decides not to confront the robo-doc about it, fearing he will have to pay the medical bill, which is very large, partly due to recent introduction of the Empire's Galactic Healthcare System .

Luke is put on Tatooine with Owen Lars, Anakin's step-brother, and Obi-Wan agrees to look after him in secret; Luke's twin sister Leia , meanwhile, is adopted by Bail Organa of Alderaan. Yoda, unsuccessful in his confrontation with Sidious, then tells Obi-Wan that he has more training for him: Qui-Gon's spirit would teach him how to retain his identity through the Force and commune with the living after death, as well as possibly set up cameos for the next trilogy. The film ends as Obi-Wan gives the infant Luke to Lars and his wife Beru, and disappears into the distance, presumably to live the rest of his life drinking heavily in a sand-igloo. Expanded Universe Obi-Wan in his first Hardboiled Detective novel. Obi-Wan Kenobi appears extensively in the Star Wars "Expanded Universe" of comic books, novels, and video games.

Featured Article 'Star Wars' Spin-Off Appeals to Ewan McGregor - Rolling Stone 'Star Wars' Spin-Off Appeals to Ewan McGregor 'Star Wars' Spin-Off Appeals to Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan Kenobi actor eyes stand-alone film in series All Stories The Force is strong with Ewan McGregor: The actor who played Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: Episode I - III has expressed interest in a new stand-alone spin-off film about the Jedi master, MTV reports. McGregor, who played a younger Kenobi in the prequel trilogy, called the possible spin-off "a good idea" and even suggested a possible plot line. More News 'Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back': Rolling Stone's 1980 Cover Story "The only bit that I could get away with doing is after the last one I made, Episode III, before Alec Guinness, there's that period where he's in the desert," said McGregor, referring to the actor who played Kenobi in the original Star Wars trilogy.

During that time in the story, Kenobi becomes a recluse on the desert planet Tatooine, keeping watch over young Luke Skywalker, whom he later trains as a Jedi. Kenobi's adventures on Tatooine before the start of the original trilogy could be an entry point for a new spin-off. "That might be my window, there, to tell that story," McGregor said. "I don't know what he did in the desert. We could make up some stuff." Regardless of storyline, McGregor said, "I'd be up for it." J.J. Abrams has been tapped to direct the next Star Wars film, Episode VII, set for release in 2015. Disney, which acquired Lucasfilm last October, is also planning stand-alone Star Wars spinoffs , and early reports and rumors suggest films centering around Han Solo, Yoda or the bounty hunter Boba Fett. Obi-Wan Kenobi - 必应 Sign in Obi-Wan Kenobi Obi-Wan Kenobi (later known as Ben Kenobi) is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe, played by Sir Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor.

In the original trilogy, he is a mentor to the protagonist Luke Skywalker to whom he teaches the ways of the Jedi. In the prequel trilogy, he is a master and friend to Anakin Skywalker. In the sequel trilogy, he appears to Rey as a voice in a dream-like-flashback in Maz Kanata's castle. He is frequently featured as a main character in various other Star Wars media. Original trilogy Obi-Wan Kenobi is introduced in Star Wars living as the hermit "Ben Kenobi" on the planet Tatooine. When Luke Skywalker and the droid C-3PO wander off in search of the lost droid R2-D2, Ben rescues them from a band of native Tusken Raiders. At his home, R2-D2 plays Ben a recording of Princess Leia Organa which explains that R2-D2 has the battle plans for a super weapon of the evil Galactic Empire within the robot. Leia asks Ben to deliver the droid and the plans safely to the planet Alderaan. Ben reveals to Luke that his real name is Obi-Wan and that he is a Jedi Master, member of an ancient group of warriors that were hunted down by his apprentice Darth Vader, the apparent killer of Luke's father.

He gives Luke his father's lightsaber and asks Luke to accompany him to Alderaan and take up Jedi training. Luke initially only promises to take Obi-Wan as far as Anchorhead Station. After Luke finds his uncle and aunt killed by Imperial troops, he takes Obi-Wan full up on the offer to go with him to Alderaan to meet Senator Organa and Princess Leia. In the spaceport city Mos Eisley, Obi-Wan uses the Force to trick Imperial troops into letting them through a military checkpoint. They enter a local cantina and make a deal with two smugglers, Han Solo and Chewbacca, to fly them to Alderaan in their Millennium Falcon ship. During the journey, Obi-Wan begins instructing Luke in lightsaber training. While instructing, he suddenly becomes weak and tells Luke of "a great disturbance in the Force". Emerging from hyperspace, the party finds that Alderaan has been destroyed and the Falcon is attacked by an Imperial TIE Fighter. Against Obi-Wan's advice, Han is caught in the Death Star's tractor beam.

On board the Death Star, Obi-Wan shuts down the tractor beam but Darth Vader confronts Obi-Wan and they engage in a lightsaber duel. Obi-Wan uses the duel to distract Vader as Luke, Leia, Han and Chewbacca escape to the Falcon. Although Vader strikes Obi-Wan down, his body mysteriously vanishes the moment he dies. At the climax of the film during the Rebel attack on the Death Star, Obi-Wan speaks to Luke through the Force to help destroy the Imperial station. In The Empire Strikes Back, Ben Kenobi appears several times as a spirit, having survived death through the Force. On the planet Hoth, he appears to instruct Luke Skywalker to go to the planet Dagobah to find the exiled Jedi Master Yoda. Despite Yoda's skepticism, Ben convinces his old master to continue Luke's training. Ben appears later to convince Luke not to leave Dagobah to try to rescue his friends on Cloud City, although Luke ignores this advice. In Return of the Jedi, Obi-Wan Kenobi appears to Luke Skywalker again after Yoda's death on Dagobah.

Obi-Wan acknowledges that Darth Vader is indeed Luke's father and also reveals that Princess Leia Organa is Luke's twin sister. After the second Death Star is destroyed and the Empire defeated, Obi-Wan appears at the celebration in the Ewok village, alongside the spirits of Yoda and the redeemed Anakin Skywalker. Prequel trilogy In Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan Kenobi appears as the Jedi Padawan (or student) of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. He accompanies his master in negotiations with the Trade Federation, which is blockading the planet Naboo with a fleet of spaceships. After they are attacked by battle droids and forced to retreat to Naboo, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon rescue Queen Padmé Amidala through the help of native Gungan Jar Jar Binks and escape in a spaceship toward Coruscant, the Republic capital. Their ship is damaged in the escape, however, and they are forced to land on Tatooine, where they discover a young Anakin Skywalker. Qui-Gon senses Anakin's extraordinarily strong link to the Force and brings the boy to Coruscant to begin Jedi training, although Obi-Wan expresses concerns.

When Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan return to Naboo to defeat the Trade Federation, they are met by Sith Lord Darth Maul. Obi-Wan is nearly killed alongside Qui-Gon in the ensuing duel, although he manages to turn the tables and defeat Maul, sending him plunging down a vast reactor shaft to his supposed death. Though doubtful, he promises to fulfill Qui-Gon's dying wish of training Anakin in the ways of the Jedi. Yoda proclaims Obi-Wan a knight and reluctantly allows him to take Anakin on as his own Padawan. In Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, set ten years later, Obi-Wan Kenobi is now a Jedi Knight while training his Padawan Anakin Skywalker. The two have formed a close friendship, although Anakin is arrogant and believes his master is "holding him back". After they save Senator Padmé Amidala in an assassination attempt, Obi-Wan goes on a solo mission and traces the bounty hunters involved to the planet Kamino. There, he learns of a massive clone army that the planet's inhabitants are building for the Republic.

He is introduced to bounty hunter Jango Fett, the clones' template, and the two fight after Obi-Wan deduces that Fett must be behind the attempted assassination. Fett escapes to the planet Geonosis with his clone son while Obi-Wan is in pursuit. On Geonosis, Obi-Wan discovers that a conspiracy of star systems bent on secession from the Republic is led by Sith Lord Count Dooku, Qui-Gon's old master. After sending a message to Anakin, Obi-Wan is captured, interrogated and sentenced to death by Dooku. A large force of Jedi arrive with the Kaminoan clone army just in time to prevent the executions. Obi-Wan and Anakin confront Dooku during the ensuing battle, but are defeated in a lightsaber duel. Yoda intervenes and saves their lives, at the cost of Dooku's escape. In Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, set three years later, Obi-Wan Kenobi is a Jedi Master on the Jedi Council and a General in the Army of the Republic. Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker remains Obi-Wan's partner and the two have become war heroes and best friends.

The film opens with the two on a rescue mission to save the kidnapped Supreme Chancellor Palpatine from Separatist leader General Grievous onboard his starship. Count Dooku discovers the attempt and fights the Jedi, knocking Obi-Wan unconscious; while Obi-Wan is out cold, Dooku is brutally murdered by Anakin. The mission succeeds and soon after returning to Coruscant, Obi-Wan is called away to the planet Utapau to track down the escaped Grievous. After finding the Separatist encampment, Obi-Wan engages Grievous and eventually kills the cyborg with a blaster gun. When Palpatine — who is secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious — issues Order 66 to have the clone troopers turn on the Jedi, Obi-Wan survives the attempt on his life and escapes, rendezvousing with Yoda and Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan aboard Organa's ship Tantive IV. Returning to Coruscant, he and Yoda discover that every Jedi in the Jedi Temple has been murdered.

After sending a beacon to all surviving Jedi to scatter across the galaxy and remain in hiding, Obi-Wan watches security footage revealing that it was Anakin who led the slaughter. Yoda charges Obi-Wan with confronting Anakin while Yoda fights Sidious. Obi-Wan is loath to fight his best friend, but reluctantly accepts. Obi-Wan visits Padmé to learn of Anakin's whereabouts and realizes that Anakin is the father of Padmé's unborn child. When Padmé sets out to the planet Mustafar to find Anakin, Obi-Wan secretly stows away in the ship. After they arrive on Mustafar, Obi-Wan reveals himself and confronts Anakin. After a long and ferocious lightsaber duel, Obi-Wan dismembers Anakin and remorsefully leaves him for dead beside a lava flow. Obi-Wan then retrieves his former friend's lightsaber and returns to Padmé's ship. Obi-Wan takes Padmé to a remote asteroid belt, where Padmé dies after giving birth to the twins (Luke and Leia) while his fallen friend is reconstructed into a cyborg.

Yoda instructs Obi-Wan to give Luke to his uncle and aunt on Tatooine, but also reveals that his old master Qui-Gon has returned from the Force to continue Obi-Wan's training. Obi-Wan hands Luke off to his family in the epilogue and goes into exile on Tatooine. Obi-Wan Kenobi Cultural impact The character is loosely inspired by General Makabe Rokurōta, a character from The Hidden Fortress, played by Toshiro Mifune (whom series creator George Lucas also considered casting as Obi-Wan Kenobi). Mad magazine parodied the original film under the title Star Roars and included a character named 'Oldie Von Moldie'; a grizzled 97-year-old whose lightsaber runs on an extension cord. The Shanghai nightclub shown in the beginning of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is called "Club Obi-Wan" as George Lucas wrote both the Star Wars and Indiana Jones series. A real bar/club by this name existed in the Xihai district of Beijing, China but closed in the summer of 2010. The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

episode "Star Koopa" (being a spoof of Star Wars) also had its own parody of Obi-Wan called 'Obi-Wan Toadi', and the live-action segment "Zenned Out Mario" featured a parody called "Obi-Wan Cannoli". The 1998 Animaniacs episode "Star Warners" (which spoofed Star Wars) featured Slappy Squirrel portraying a parody of Obi-Wan as 'Slappy Wanna Nappy'. In the Family Guy episode "Blue Harvest", Obi-Wan Kenobi is parodied by the character Herbert. In the short film Thumb Wars, Obi-Wan is parodied as the character 'Oobedoob Benubi'. In the film, his full name is 'Oobedoob Scooby-Doobi Benubi, the silliest name in the galaxy.' In the 1977 Star Wars parody Hardware Wars, Obi-Wan is parodied by the character 'Augie Ben Doggie'. In French Internet subculture, "Obi-Wan Kenobi" became an expression meaning "your question does not make sense",[citation needed] and is said when one does not know what to answer but wants to respond in an amusing way.

It was popularised by Les Guignols de l'info,[citation needed] which made a parody of the French version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?[when?] in which for every question, the fourth choice was invariably "Obi-Wan Kenobi" (and the question invariably nonsense). Humorous multiple choice questionnaires[example needed] made on the internet since often featured an "Obi-Wan Kenobi" option.[citation needed] TV Tropes uses Obi-Wan's name for the archetype mentor figure. In 2003, the American Film Institute selected Obi-Wan Kenobi as the 37th greatest movie hero of all time. He was also listed as IGN's third greatest Star Wars character, as well as one of UGO Networks's favorite heroes of all time. In 2004, the Council of the Commune Lubicz in Poland passed a resolution giving the name "Obi-Wan Kenobi" to one of the streets in Grabowiec, a small village near Toruń. The street was named in 2005.

The spelling of the street name, Obi-Wana Kenobiego is the genitive form of the noun in the Polish language: (the street) of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
